"Kronos! Hesita, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon! Come down and eat your breakfast!" I hollered out, flipping the last of the waffles onto the plate.

The thunder of footsteps answered my call, along with tiny giggles. I sighed, taking off my apron and rub my growing belly. I wobble myself towards the stairs, curious of what was going on.

Just in the nick of time, my little bundles of joys launched in my arms, laughter coming out of them in giggles.

I put them down slowly, asking, "What's going on?"

Hades answers with a toothy smile, "Mommy! Help us! Daddy is trying to tickle us! Let's hurry before he gets you and brother!" he says, trying to tug me towards the dining room.

Little did they know, my husband, Kronos, was just a few feet behind us.

I sent a small stern but playful look to him, but he only shrugged it off; a smirk gracing his lips.

"Alright, Hesita, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, I promise you your father won't tickle you guys anymore. Isn't that right, honey?" I say, my pregnancy hormones going haywire.

Kronos's face pales, nodding frantically.

Rain voiced, wagging her tail.

I chuckled, agreeing with her before cutting the link. The kids and Kronos seated, eating their food. Before I could sit down and join them, the doorbell rings.

I was heading towards the door to go get it, but Kronos kissed me on top of the head; telling me he would get it. My heart contracted, my love for him growing everyday.

The door opens and I can a murmur of greetings. Kronos and I had moved out of the pack house after I announced that I was pregnant, since we thought we needed a bigger house to raise our family in.

I stand up, wanting to greet our visitors. A smile tugged at my lips when I saw Coco, Azrael, and Theo, standing happily before me.

Wobbling over to where they were, I hug all of them tightly.

When I greeted Coco and Azrael, their five your old daughter was hiding behind them. She was very shy, but so cute! Her name was Persephone, and trust me on this, when she grows up, she'll be a heartbreaker.

Coco was pregnant with Persephone when she was in heat several years before, when I was in a coma.

Theo, on the other hand, was occupied by Kronos who was talking to him about how excited he was about this party. Although Kronos rarely visits Theo for check-ups on his mental and physical health, they still keep in contact whenever they can.

I led all of them to the dining room, where I took out a cake and placed it in front of all of them. Kronos puts away all the breakfast I made, before coming up behind me; the girls, Hesita, Demeter, and Hera just clinging to his side. While our two boys, Poseidon and Hades were on my side.

Coco, who was silent until now asked excitedly, "So, what's up? Why did you call us all here?"

They all nodded at her question, agreeing to her question.

I took a deep breath, my hands getting sweating. "Well, why don't you guys cut open the cake?" I suggest, sounding eager.

Kronos looked skeptical as everyone else did, but they did as I asked. The children staring at the adults with a confused expression, not sure what was going on.

Coco grabs the knife that was on the table, aiming it at the cake. She slices it in half, her eyebrows furrowed, "Blue...?" she asks.

I nod, my smile growing wider. No one but Kronos seemed to get it, because he immediately exclaimed, "I thought we were just having a girl?"

That's when everyone else caught on, congratulating me; cheering.

I shook my head at them, "You guys got it! I went to the doctors yesterday for a check up, and she told me that I was having another boy!" I said, my happiness rolling off in waves.

Once again, I was hit with a bunch of congratulations. Coco was trying to explain to Persephone about the news, while Hesita, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon still looked lost.

I came over to them where everyone else was conversating.

Kneeling down onto his level, I explain to them. After a few moments, Hesita and Demeter bubbly voices asks, "Wait... so we're going to have another baby brother?"

Kronos who was by my side nods, "That's right girls. You're going to be a big sister to him!"

They all frowned, shouting at the same time, "No! Take the baby back! We don't want him!"

I barked out a laugh, "You guys will still have your own rooms, no worries. You don't need to share with him, but he'll look up to you and see you guys as his hero."

Their eyes lit up, falling for my clever bait. They started jumping up and down, excited to be a big brothers and sisters more than ever.

Strangely then, Hades, our shyest of them all, started to skip over to where Persephone was, who was silently sitting alone in the corner.

She was always blushing, her cheeks flared up when Hades came by to chat with her. A sly grin crossed my lips, thinking that they could be mates one day.

I sigh at the entire scene, my eyes gazing at each and every person in the room. Kronos comes up from behind me, slugging a arm around my shoulders.

He chuckles, "We did good huh? I'm amazed that this all started just because you met me in the pack house. Can you imagine if we never did? To think that I could ever be this happy. I was mute, broken, and no one ever wanted me. Until you came along and gave me my happily ever after," he says, leaning his forehead against mine.

I smiled, my eyes closing in instinct, "But, everything happened for a reason Kronos. And, I'm glad it did. You're my muted alpha, and you always will be deep down. It's nothing to be ashamed about, because you being once mute made you into the amazing man you are today. You've become a husband, a father, and a friend. Your past only made you stronger, remember that," I said, my nose bumping into his.

A smile graced his lips, "It never fails to amaze me how blessed I am to have met you Rhea, I love you."

I smile softly back, "And I to you, forever."

We shared a kiss, laughing quietly before joining the others.

Life was just great, and I couldn't ask for anything to be different.
